So I just got a used Ipod and when I connect to Itunes with it it says I have to restore and update it. No roblem so I hit restore and it loads for a dew minutes and then says could not connect to the update server. Any help?

Seems I can also not access the store. Is there some kind of maintenance going on?

Not sure which iPod you have, but you should be able to find and download the firmware you need from the link below. On a Mac, if you hold the Option key while clicking on the "Restore iPod" button in iTunes it should show a Finder window where you can choose the file you downloaded.
